INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENT IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

The article describes questions of effectiveness of ICT usage in teaching and learning, evolution of electronic learning resources from simplest one in framework of behavioristic model of human mentality till interactive creative environment.

GETTING TO KNOW MATHKIT

We describe the 1C:MathKit interactive environment’s special features facilitating the creation of mathematical models and learning materials, the topics of mathematics curriculum best suited for the usage of this software, and effective ways to incorporate it in the teaching process.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF VARIABILITY OF THINKING IN SCHOOLCHILDREN USING 1С:MATHKIT IN MATH CLASS

The article deals with developing variability of thinking in pupils in math class. The purpose is achieved through the organization of workshops using interactive environment (1C:MathKit). The article introduces the definition of “multiversion tasks” and offers examples of using them in the educational process.

METHODOLOGY OF GEOMETRIC EXPERIMENTS IN THE VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTs

The article describes methodology of geometric experiments in the virtual learning environment; it is shown that experimental constructive activity for the detection of geometric dependencies, features and relations is available for pupils of fifth and sixth classes of secondary school, main stages are described and examples are given.

MATHEMATICS AND PROGRAMMING: USING SCRIPTS IN AN INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENT 1C:MATHKIT 6.0

Possibilities of JavaScript in interactive environment 1С:MathKit are investigated. Objective model of this environment is considered together with the objects’ properties and methods. The examples of scripts that can be useful in user’s models are given.

GEOGEBRA IN THE SYSTEM OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION MEANS

The article presents an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of open-source software of dynamic mathematics — GeoGebra v. 4.4.40.0. Functionality of the program is discussed in the context of supporting educational and methodical work. Reveal the effects and risks of the use of such programs in regular school as a visualization tool, a learning tool for modeling and the development of research skills of students.

VIRTUAL EXPERIMENTS: BIOKIT INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENT IN SCHOOL BIOLOGY

One of the methodological school biology problems — deficit of student’s explorative activity that inspires them to passive learning — is considered in the article. The way to solve this problem is connected with using 1C:BioKit 1.5 interactive environment in school. BioKit is innovative domestic software that allows to simulate biology systems and phenomenons, to conduct virtual experiments and practical works on biology lessons at school.
